Down with the Cafetiere

So I was sipping my coffee this morning and the burning question that popped into my mind was why don't we use proper coffee pots any more?  What's with all this Cafetiere business?  I've seen so many beautiful coffee pots at boots sales and Charity shops looking all sad sat on the shelf that I think that we should create a revival - ditch the shiny coffee maker for a more classier affair.
This is my current fave... it used to be my nanny's - circa 1950  but coffee still tastes good out of it!
